Chocolate Covered Strawberry Roses

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Roses

Chocolate covered strawberries are a special treat for Valentine's Day. This year, how about adding a little something extra and making chocolate covered strawberry roses? They are not much harder to make than regular chocolate covered strawberries.

You will need:

fresh strawberries

wooden skewers

white chocolate
red food coloring
a piping bag & decorating tip

Wash and rinse the strawberries. Make sure they are 100% dry before dipping them in chocolate. If the strawberries are wet, the chocolate won't stick to them. Then poke a wooden skewer through the top of each strawberry.

Dip the strawberry in melted white chocolate.

Allow the chocolate to cool and harden.

Here's another trick I learned from Pinterest, though it was originally used for cake pops: use a colander to hold the strawberries while the chocolate dries.

Once each strawberry was dipped in chocolate, I mixed in a few drops of red food coloring to the leftover chocolate, spooned it into a piping bag, and piped it onto the strawberries. If you don't have a piping bag, you could try using a plastic bag and cut the tip off of a corner, but I think a piping bag would work much better.

I absolutely LOVE these strawberries, how pretty. I love the way you took the pictures too! Come over to Treasure Box Tuesday and share them, please. http://memoriesbythemile.com/2014/01/28/treasure-box-tuesday-4/Hugs,Wanda Ann @ Memories by the Mile

TPJ - I should never look at food posts before dinner. I'm so hungry right now and it doesn't get much better than chocolate covered strawberries. Thank you so much for linking up to the Peace, Love, and Chocolate Party and supporting such a great cause. Hugs, Holly
